How to solve the LA Times Crossword

Fill the grid so that every Across and Down answer matches its clue. Monday to Thursday puzzles have three to five long theme entries sharing a gimmick; Friday and Saturday drop the theme and lean into longer answers and trickier cluing. Our answer pages list every clue in grid order with the answer behind a reveal button.

LA Times Crossword tips for tomorrow

  • Start with the fills you know cold. Three- and four-letter answers anchor the grid and unlock the longer entries.
  • Look for question marks. A clue ending in “?” almost always signals a pun or non-literal definition.
  • Mind the tense and number. If the clue is plural, the answer is plural; if past tense, the answer ends in -ED or follows the verb's irregular form.
